Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Panasonic FZ80 and Samsung WB35F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FZ80 has external dimensions of 130 x 94 x 119 mm (5.12 x 3.7 x 4.69″) and weighs 616 g (1.36 lb / 21.73 oz) (including batteries). Samsung WB35F has external dimensions of 101 x 61 x 28 mm (3.98 x 2.4 x 1.1″) and weighs 194 g (0.43 lb / 6.84 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ80 and the Samsung WB35F. Samsung WB35F is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 29mm narrower, 33mm shorter and 91mm thinner than Panasonic FZ80.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ80 and Samsung WB35F.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic FZ80 and Samsung WB35F.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung WB35F is significantly lighter (422g ) than the Panasonic FZ80 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ80 (Lumix DMC-FZ82) nor Samsung WB35F provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic FZ80's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung WB35F's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
